Lyrics Falling Is Like This

you give me that look that's like laughing
with liquid in your mouth
like you're choosing between choking
and spitting it all out
like you're trying to fight gravity
on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and falling is like this

feels like reckless driving when we're talking
it's fun while it lasts and it's faster than walking
but no one is going to sympathize when we crash
they'll say you hit what you head for
you get what you ask
and we'll say we didn't know
we didn't even try
one minute there was road beneath us
and the next just sky

i'm sorry i can't help you
i cannot keep you safe
sorry i can't help myself
so don't look at me that way
we can't fight gravity
on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and falling is like this
